Ted Leo & The Pharmacists Ghosts
Why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you
That ain't no ghost - it's a reflection of you
Why do you turn away keep it out of sight
Or don't live up to your given role
There's more inside you that you won't show
But you keep it hidden just like everyone
You're scared to show her make you vulnerable
So you wear that ghost around you for a disguise
But there's no need just cuz it's all we've known
There's more inside you that you haven't shown
So you keep on moving moving moving your feet
Keep in shuf- shuf- shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streams
One day you'll walk right out of this life
And then you'll wonder why you didn't try
To spread some loving all around
Old fashioned causes like that still stand
Gotta rid this prejudice it brings you down
How do you feel at the end of the day
Just like you've walked over your own grave
So why are you frightened can't you see that it's you
At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose
Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through
